(41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots)
41 shots and we'll take that ride
'Cross the bloody river to the other side
41 shots cut through the night
You're kneeling over his body in the vestibule
Praying for his life
Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in your American skin
(41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots)
41 shots, Liana gets her son ready for school
She says, "On these streets, Charles, you've got to understand the rules
If an officer stops you, promise me you'll always be polite
And that you'll never ever run away
Promise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight"
Is it a gun? (Is it a gun?)
Is it a knife? (Is it a knife?)
Is it a wallet? (Is it a wallet?)
This is your life (this is your life)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in your American skin
(41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots)
Is it a gun? (Is it a gun?)
Is it a knife? (Is it a knife?)
Is it in your heart? (Is it in your heart?)
Is it in your eyes? (Is it in your eyes?)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
41 shots and we'll take that ride
'Cross this bloody river to the other side
41 shots, got my boots caked with this mud
We're baptized in these waters (baptized in these waters)
And in each other's blood (and in each other's blood)
Is it a gun? (Is it a gun?)
Is it a knife? (Is it a knife?)
Is it a wallet? (Is it a wallet?)
This is your life (this is your life)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in
You can get killed just for living in
You can get killed just for living in your American skin
41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots
41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots
41 shots (you can get killed just for living in)
41 shots (you can get killed just for living in)

It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
